L224[07:02:16] <APlayer> The booster is like 50 m above the ground, error is 6 meters, and suddenly it tilts to 45 deg. I think, okay, that's dead now... But it suddenly tilts up again and lands smack dab into the center cross

L349[10:14:31] <darsie> I couldn't land on Eeloo cause I didn't have enough EC. Now I'm trying to calculate what I need.
L350[10:14:54] <darsie> Instead of eyeballing it.
L351[10:15:11] <darsie> Already doubled EC but still failed.
L352[10:16:42] <darsie> Dawn produces 1006 N at 0.72 EC/s. Max is 2000 N at 8.74 EC/s.
L353[10:17:46] <darsie> So electrically it gets much more efficient at low thrust, but fuel use is proportional, I assume.
L354[10:18:04] <darsie> Assuming constant 4200 Isp.
L355[10:19:13] <darsie> Hmm, so two RTGs should produce less than double thrust. Must, cause it won't go to 2012 N.
L356[10:22:24] <darsie> I'll use more battery. It's more fuel efficient to slow down "fast" than having slightly more thrust than gravity.

L370[10:41:41] <Fluburtur> im not such a hipster tp return to the early days of flying when you had to twist the wings
L371[10:41:53] <Fluburtur> eh only 1.2 meter of wingspan
L372[10:41:59] <Fluburtur> but it looks very stubby
L373[10:42:50] <Mat2ch> it's not about twisting wings. It's about placing a small compressor on the plane and pumping air into pockets to manipulate the air around the plane ;)
L374[10:43:29] <Fluburtur> eh I guess that's clever
L375[10:43:30] <darsie> APlayer: I'm getting to and landing on Eeloo, that's far enough for me ;).
L376[10:43:37] <Mat2ch> and autofocus is a bad thing for something that small
L377[10:43:52] <darsie> APlayer: Ahh, not batteries alone, sure. I have an RTG.
L378[10:43:56] <Fluburtur> yeah but manual focus is a bit hard
L379[10:44:08] <Fluburtur> or I could use my full manual lenses but those have no zoom
L380[10:44:21] <darsie> APlayer: But yeah, batteries deplete quickly, so nothing for deep gravity wells.
L381[10:44:43] <APlayer> I mean that ion engines use so much EC that unless your battery is extremely large, you can only make rather limited burns on them, in burst mode
L382[10:45:10] <APlayer> Kerbin to Eeloo is like, what 2 km/s?

L385[10:45:25] <Althego> must be more
L386[10:45:32] <Althego> because jool is almsot 2k
L387[10:45:48] <darsie> Yeah, it's burst-recharge sequences.
L388[10:45:51] <APlayer> 2.5 km/s, let's say
L389[10:45:52] <darsie> a few
L390[10:46:06] <Althego> and dont forget the circularization burn, which is also a lot for eeloo
L391[10:46:27] <Althego> and you dont have uch time for it
L392[10:46:29] <darsie> I was there with enough Xe left. Only had too little EC for landing.
L393[10:46:55] <APlayer> You may calculate how long such a maneuver takes using Tsiolkovski, I guess Kerbin ejection is the worst of the four. And then you know how much EC you need per burn
L394[10:47:14] <APlayer> Don't forget to account for the RTG charging the batteries even as you burn
L395[10:47:37] <darsie> I'm done calculating. I eyeballed it again. This time it'll be enough.

L510[13:10:09] <Althego> the dawn is still a lot more powerful than real eion engines
L511[13:10:31] <Althego> i think the highest thrust was 5 newton or something
L512[13:10:44] <UmbralRaptor> The Dawn's TWR is something like 3-5 orders of magnitude higher than real ions.
L513[13:11:07] <Althego> https://www.space.com/38444-mars-thruster-design-breaks-records.html
L514[13:11:16] <Althego> 5.4 N

L528[13:15:29] <Althego> but thereason i dont use the ions because they are infeasible for normal gameplay for anything but the tiniest loads. and where i would need it the most, around jool, i lose delta v by adding huge solars panels i need there. so it is good for a tiny probe to duna, but that does not require lot delta v anywya

L553[13:18:29] <Mat2ch> if you don't do a direct transfer to Moho, but a catch-up, it is enough
L554[13:18:30] <Althego> they are good for around 0.2 twr
L555[13:18:37] <Mat2ch> although it will be painfully long burns
L556[13:18:38] <Althego> and i dont go lower than 0.1

L559[13:19:47] <JCB> hmm.. downside of ions, no way to refuel insitue
L560[13:19:57] <JCB> unless you bring a seperate tank...
L561[13:20:03] <Althego> not really a concern in real life
L562[13:20:08] <Althego> nobody has done that
L563[13:20:30] <Blaank> 9.6 km/s with chemical engines is cheaper with higher TWR
L564[13:20:35] <Althego> yes
L565[13:20:37] <Blaank> Much much much more mass to haul into orbit, though
L566[13:20:46] <Blaank> 190 tons vs 3
L567[13:20:59] <oren> JCB you can get xenon at venus or titan the same way we get it ast earth
L568[13:21:04] <Althego> rocket size scales with payload mass in a linear fashion
L569[13:21:10] <Althego> so doesnt really matter that much
L570[13:21:18] <Blaank> I thought it was exponential
L571[13:21:22] <Althego> for delta v
L572[13:21:43] <JCB> oren ya but... though, we talk'n in-game or real life here?
L573[13:22:03] <JCB> in-game: anyone done light gas refinery stuff?
L574[13:22:05] <Althego> but to lko you need the same amount of delta v. and for the heavier chemical mission payload the rocket will be heavier linearly
L575[13:22:18] <Blaank> Imma derp and forgot to properly asparagus this. I have more dv out of chemical than ion for less cost and more TWR. No way can I get 14 km/s out of chemical, though.
L576[13:22:20] <oren> in game I have a mod with a cryogenic centrfuge
L577[13:22:38] <Althego> but you dont need 14k

L579[13:22:47] <Althego> there is nothing that warrants ut
L580[13:22:50] <Blaank> 0.64 TWR is completely reasonable

L629[13:48:36] <JCB> something of a little idea I had floating around in my head...
L630[13:48:42] <APlayer> "High power lasers are also needed in space applications including [...] tackling the growing space junk problem that threatens satellites,"
L631[13:48:50] * APlayer is interested
L632[13:49:11] <APlayer> ...so we could potentially deal with space junk by simply evaporating it?
L633[13:49:16] <JCB> mm.. or possibly in use for fusion reactors
L634[13:49:41] <Althego> wouldnt it turn back into solid eventually?
L635[13:50:03] <JCB> lol.. turn all our junk into another moon?
L636[13:50:05] <Althego> even the iss has sandblasting like erosion on it because of the fine dust from space debris
L637[13:50:08] <APlayer> Althego: Well, that'd not happen soon
L638[13:50:38] <Althego> the only solution is to wait until it clears and not put more into space
L639[13:50:44] <APlayer> It's an interesting thing to ponder about, anyway
L640[13:50:52] <JCB> stick defelectors on the ISS... can be either like something you'd use on your car, or ala star trek style
L641[13:51:15] <APlayer> Also, I guess space gas deorbits faster than space junk
L642[13:51:15] <Althego> what is that light? we are losing a deflector shield
L643[13:52:03] <lordcirth> I thought the lasering was to cause explosive ablation, changing the object's course? For the large ones at least
L644[13:52:22] <JCB> actually, I think they just use a few layers of kevlar blankets, with a bit of an airspace between them.. doesn't take much to disrupt fine particles.. bigger things though might be more of a problem
L645[13:53:10] <JCB> you could try to vap large space objects, trouble is trying to detect them and track..
L646[13:53:58] <APlayer> Well, they do have to avoid stuff occasionally
L647[13:54:03] <JCB> then again... our airports recently got new tech that can scan the runway and pick up on things as small as a bolt... but thats still pretty close ranged
L648[13:54:19] <APlayer> If they had a laser to evaporate things before they hit, that would solve a great deal of problems
L649[13:54:45] <APlayer> JCB: Are those things called, by any chance, metal detectors? :P
L650[13:55:07] <JCB> now.. they talk'n about debris of what size... full sized components or we thinking more stuff thats broken off, smaller, fist.. finger sized..

L652[13:56:01] <JCB> its a form of radar... stuff doesn't have to be metal to be picked up. Its detected other stuff, not just metal. It uses a form of radar
L653[13:56:18] <JCB> that sits on a mast on the sides of the runway at regular intervals
L654[13:56:25] <tawny> huh
L655[13:56:29] <tawny> must be very well calibrated
L656[13:56:42] <APlayer> So I guess you could shine a laser beam or so parallel to the runway surface and see if anything obstructs it up to the other end?
L657[13:57:19] <tawny> that'd only work if you had a very very flat runway which tends to be the case a lot less than you want it to
L658[13:57:52] <JCB> http://www.infologic.sg/Aviation-Solution/Foreign-Object-&amp;-Debris-Detection-System-(FOD)--radar-based-solution-for-runway-monitoring
L659[13:57:58] <APlayer> You may do it across the short side, would have to move it more
L660[13:58:01] <JCB> uses milimeter band of radar
L661[13:58:51] <APlayer> Also, would a bolt-sized object really cause trouble for a plane?
L662[13:59:56] <tawny> depends
L663[14:00:25] <tawny> how small or heavy is your plane, what condition are your tires in, what angle is the bolt sticking up at, etc
L664[14:01:27] <tawny> it also depends on if the object is heavy enough to stay on the runway
L665[14:01:34] <tawny> or if it's going to get pulled into a turbine
L666[14:01:39] <tawny> and THAT would definitely ruin someone's day
L667[14:01:45] <APlayer> At most I can imagine it getting flung into the plane or tire retraction mechanism or so and causing damage depending on kinetic energy
L668[14:02:49] <APlayer> Well, not sure how large the suction is at the turbines, but I guess smaller objects are more of a threat there than bolt-sized ones
L669[14:03:06] <JCB> lol.. found the article that talks about when it was installed at our local airport. A world's first...
L670[14:03:22] <JCB> system was too sensitive, it was reporting 4" stalk of grass..
L671[14:04:17] <JCB> says it could pick up a 2" object from 1000 meters out..
L672[14:04:33] <tawny> oh wow

L674[14:04:40] <JCB> generally you don't want anything on the runway, a bolt can blow a tire quite easily...
L675[14:05:01] <JCB> or it can kick it up into the wing with enough force to punch a hole in the aircraft skin.

L677[14:05:08] <APlayer> Wouldn't sweeping a laser from a tower and looking for unusual reflections do the job, though?
L678[14:05:40] <JCB> think the idea is to not use lasers... there's already a big concern of reflections hitting pilots
L679[14:06:03] <APlayer> Uh, I mean before the aircraft actually launches :P
L680[14:06:16] <APlayer> Also, UV lasers are a think too?
L681[14:06:21] <APlayer> thing*
L682[14:06:35] <JCB> the idea with radar is you can shoot out a wide beam, see what comes back
L683[14:07:02] <APlayer> Yeah, but it sounds so terribly unnecessarily complicated
L684[14:07:14] <JCB> laser, you having to watch for a very fine point of light... sometimes its not easy to do with certain kinds of conditions
L685[14:07:15] ⇦ Quits: SopaXorzTaker (~SopaXorzT@77.139.59.160) (Remote host closed the connection)
L686[14:07:29] <JCB> also, not everything will return laser light
L687[14:08:04] <tawny> also it sounds like you could use this system while planes are using other runways, maybe
L688[14:08:05] <APlayer> If you do let's say a map of how the runway looks when clean, you should get an alarm whenever some spot looks unusual
L689[14:08:07] <tawny> which is ideal
L690[14:08:21] <JCB> lol.. what was it Clarkson said in Top Gear.... cars that use lasers to wipe off rain from the windows... egh..
L691[14:08:40] <APlayer> Ah, other runways might be a concern
L692[14:09:12] <APlayer> So, still, let's say the laser uses UV
L693[14:09:22] <JCB> our airport has two runways that run parellel... then a third that crosses over. There are 4 of the detection systems setup that work together
L694[14:09:30] <APlayer> Or IR, but IIRC IR lasers cannot be focused as well
L695[14:10:09] <APlayer> And that's a thing I couldn't ever understand too. Why make runways cross each other?
L696[14:10:44] <tawny> I think it's usually because of land constraints
L697[14:10:56] <JCB> we also tend to get a lot of rain here... I think anything, ir, laser, radar (milimeter band) will get a little jammed up with some of our downpours here
L698[14:11:03] ⇦ Quits: Alaura (~Alaura@ip68-14-164-59.ok.ok.cox.net) (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
L699[14:11:04] <APlayer> Could make them parallel in the worst case scenario?
L700[14:11:29] <JCB> we originally had two runways here.. the main long one, and a cross one..
L701[14:11:30] <tawny> airports like to have runways that point in different directions
L702[14:11:47] <JCB> the smaller cross one was meant for smaller aircraft, since they can't handle major cross winds..
L703[14:11:49] <tawny> I'm not clear on why exactly that is, though, because it doesn't seem to save all that much fuel
L704[14:11:58] <APlayer> The thing that confuses me is, if the crossing runway is used, the other ones need to be on holf
L705[14:12:01] <APlayer> hold*
L706[14:12:24] <JCB> you can still use both... its just in the timing
L707[14:12:34] <JCB> long as you leave enough space for wake turblance
L708[14:12:36] <APlayer> Sounds not very safe
L709[14:12:59] <JCB> realize, tower control has been doing this for decades, people are very skilled, know what htey are doing.
L710[14:13:35] <tawny> "Often you will see crossing runways perpendicular to each other. This ensures that any landing aircraft only needs to handle a 45 degree quartering headwind given any possible wind direction."
L711[14:13:36] <tawny> ahhhh
L712[14:13:38] <tawny> that does make sense
L713[14:13:46] <JCB> fortunately, our airport isn't as crazy busy as some of the others down south... busy ya, but not stupid crazy
L714[14:13:46] <APlayer> Well, as a person who is mentally used to seeing launch pads evacuate for a several kilometer radius a few hours before a rocket launch... :P
L715[14:14:44] <JCB> aircraft are given a certain amount of clearance, airspace to themselves, it varies depending on what htey are doing. landing, take off, cruiseing..
L716[14:16:00] <JCB> actually, the way we have things setup here.. one runway is set for arrivals, the other departures. The cross runway for regional craft out of the south terminal
L717[14:16:48] <JCB> there is also a kind of unofficial runway for take-offs which is actually a wide taxi way close to the regional terminal that runs parellel to the older main runway
L718[14:16:51] <APlayer> On the other hand, I don't think there was a mid-air/landing/takeoff collision between aircraft in a whole while
L719[14:17:04] <JCB> but its only used during specific weather and wind conditions.
L720[14:18:47] <JCB> there was one in sask a few days ago, shortly after take off, but think everyone made it out safe

L772[14:41:14] <APlayer> Welcome to German highways with no speed limit whatsoever
L773[14:41:46] <JCB> we so rarely get car chases here as it is... and for the ones we do, police just hang back while the helo tails them from the air
L774[14:41:58] <APlayer> I've got to say, it's pretty well organized and civil, though. Never heard of huge drama, and bigger accidents are not too common
L775[14:42:29] <JCB> ya but if anything goes wrong, its a bigger punishment
L776[14:42:53] <JCB> then again... driving too slow would have your permit on those highways revoked
L777[14:43:11] <APlayer> That is, despite no speed limit on highways in many places, I don't think there are many accidents due to lacking speed control and never heard of a car chase at all
L778[14:43:22] <JCB> top gear tried doing a segment on it... trouble was, they kept running into road construction
L779[14:44:23] <APlayer> What I did see though were holes punched through roof mounted transporation boxes by not properly secured equipment after sudden braking or acceleration
L780[14:44:29] <JCB> what I find stupid here, they did bump the speed up a bit, but it was mountain highway.. 120km up a steep hill.. with trucks having to go at a crawl in one or two of three lanes.
L781[14:45:19] <APlayer> Also, the rules are rather clever, there is rarely if ever a single car blocking passage for a faster one
L782[14:45:32] <JCB> think its the same speed limit when snow hits... so you have guys in 4x4 high centered pickup trucks with snow machines on the back, trying to race up the hill, blowing black crap out the back
L783[14:45:59] <APlayer> You've got to drive in the left lane and only use the right one for passing other cars
L784[14:46:01] <JCB> ya.. we have passing inside lanes, cruising outside
L785[14:46:18] <APlayer> Uh, I mixed up left and right there, LOL
L786[14:46:21] <JCB> trouble is.. even when you trying to pass someone, you get someone a foot at your bumper trying to rush past you too

L788[14:46:44] <APlayer> Nope, never experienced that
L789[14:47:08] <JCB> I've had to pass a few people going slow, only to pull to the side to have some idiot floor it, wanting to swerve around traffic, just so they can take that exit just up ahead
L790[14:47:16] <APlayer> People usually see if someone is faster than them and let them pass first before using the left lane
L791[14:47:50] <APlayer> And fast moving cars usually anticipate if someone in front is about to pass and brake in advance
L792[14:48:15] <JCB> meh.. we get people out here with no regard for speed limit... had one guy rocket past me on the highway, must have been flooring it at 200kph or something in 100km zone

L849[15:02:45] <JCB> no stopping is black stop sign, with same, circle and line across
L850[15:02:48] <Althego> hehe, no no parking is the same as this just with an x

L856[15:04:17] <APlayer> Quite possible
L857[15:04:27] <tawny> but that might be some other sort of cover for like an electrical junction box that doesn't *really* need a round cover as much
L858[15:04:33] <APlayer> Yeah, that's a manhole cover
L859[15:04:46] <Althego> manholes are always circular, but there are other things that have rectangular covers
L860[15:04:50] <APlayer> Round metal ones are way more common, though

L871[15:08:08] <Althego> in fact it could have happened even here by the loks of it
L872[15:08:43] <APlayer> TIL a "No vehicles carrying explosives"-sign is a thing
L873[15:08:49] <Althego> hehe
L874[15:09:48] <APlayer> tawny, Althego: Ah, okay. Was just wondering just how different Germany is from the US or other places
L875[15:10:06] <APlayer> Apparently, not too bad if you just randomly spawned here or there
L876[15:10:45] <tawny> haha
L877[15:11:04] <APlayer> And apparently, this is how a "No vehicles carrying explosives" sign looks like in france: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4f/France_road_sign_B18a.svg
L878[15:11:16] <tawny> oh, I don't know if I've seen outside mailboxes in the US quite like that before?
L879[15:11:22] <tawny> they probably exist
L880[15:11:41] <tawny> but everywhere I've cared to notice, the mailboxes are usually just indoors
L881[15:12:11] <tawny> and then there'd be a second locked door or set of doors past that point to keep intruders out
L882[15:12:46] <APlayer> That's totally not a thing here
L883[15:13:13] <APlayer> Everyone just has one door, and the mailboxes are usually somewhere around the door on the wall outside
L884[15:14:21] <tawny> oh I meant like
L885[15:14:27] <tawny> mailboxes for apartments with lots of people
L886[15:14:43] <tawny> individual homes have outdoor mailboxes pretty often
L887[15:16:03] <APlayer> Ah

L889[15:16:30] <APlayer> Multiple-apartment-houses still have outdoor mailboxes
L890[15:16:46] <APlayer> At least the vast majority of them
L891[15:20:53] <tawny> interesting
L892[15:20:59] <tawny> maybe I've just never really paid attention to that
L893[15:21:12] <tawny> I guess it makes sense that it's easier for me to notice the indoor ones
L894[15:21:30] <tawny> so for all I know the US has plenty of those too
L895[15:25:22] <APlayer> I guess I shall find (or take them myself) a few random photographs from German streets and show them here, I'd really like to know if it would be different from what someone in the US would expect to see
L896[15:25:54] <APlayer> The amount of information in the accident image is rather limited
L897[15:30:53] <Mathuin> Wait, I'm having trouble getting science out of my station's cupola. How do I transfer it to an EVA scientist?
L898[15:31:09] <APlayer> Left click, take science
L899[15:31:15] <APlayer> Or take experiments or so
L900[15:31:29] <Mathuin> Ugh, had to enter the cupola then exit to get that choice.
L901[15:31:29] <APlayer> Need to get close to the hatch, though, IIRC
L902[15:31:57] <Mathuin> I was close enough to enter the cupola, not close enough to get the science. In and out did the trick.
L903[15:33:23] <Mathuin> Also, is there any way to stop the click-through of windows? If I have three windows on top of each other, one click can do chaotic things.
L904[15:35:24] <APlayer> None that I know of
L905[15:35:32] <Mathuin> That is super annoying.

L963[18:41:05] <JCB> lol... find it sort of crazy, what takes us in real life to reach orbit, (7.8km/s) is nearly double what is needed simply to escape kerbol system
L964[18:41:42] <taniwha> JCB: even crazier: Earth's surface is about half way to Mun orbit

L966[18:47:57] <JCB> I'm fully aware of scale diffs... I suspect they shrunk things down so you don't end up spending so much time just trying to get to orbit (2-3minutes ksp, vs 8-9 minutes real life)

L1191[23:27:29] <Mod9000> Hello, Guest89425
L1192[23:27:34] <Guest89425> hi
L1193[23:27:37] <Mod9000> Hello, Guest89425
L1194[23:27:47] <Blaank> I don't think modding is possible on consoles.
L1195[23:27:57] <TheKosmonaut> Well, it depends on what you are looking for. You see, if you have a decently powerful computer then the PC version is the way to go
L1196[23:28:09] <Guest89425> i don't really know what that means
L1197[23:28:15] <Guest89425> Iwe have a mac
L1198[23:28:17] <TheKosmonaut> As you will also be able to add mods over time (or not) that can change (or enhance) your game.
L1199[23:28:26] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: ok, what Mac do you have? I have one too
L1200[23:28:29] <Blaank> Mods are modifications made by fans.
L1201[23:28:40] <Blaank> They can add parts or gameplay elements.
L1202[23:28:44] <Guest89425> we have a mac mini
L1203[23:28:58] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: the recent one?
L1204[23:29:11] <Guest89425> I think we got it in 2012
L1205[23:29:18] <Guest89425> I think
L1206[23:29:52] <Guest89425> Thats what the about my mac button says--late 2012
L1207[23:30:53] <TheKosmonaut> I might go for the Xbox version in that case. However I don’t think the new version comes out until January
L1208[23:31:10] <TheKosmonaut> I wouldn’t advise getting the current Console version of KSP (if it’s even for sale currently)
L1209[23:31:28] <Guest89425> will he not be able to add these "Mods"
L1210[23:31:37] <Guest89425> ever
L1211[23:31:40] <TheKosmonaut> Not if he plays the console version.
L1212[23:32:05] <Guest89425> I'm guessing this is a pretty popular feature.
L1213[23:32:34] <Guest89425> I don't want him to be dissappointed if he get the other version.
L1214[23:32:40] <TheKosmonaut> Some would credit mods for making KSP what it is today. As many of the talented people that have worked on KSP were and are modders
L1215[23:33:13] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: in the “About this Mac” screen, can you tell me the specs of your Mac mini
L1216[23:33:51] <Guest89425> I'm just debating wether or not to get an xbox one--we have a 360--
L1217[23:33:53] <TheKosmonaut> If you click the apple then about this Mac, it’ll open a window that should give your processor and graphics specifications
L1218[23:34:02] <Guest89425> I did it says late 2012

L1222[23:36:04] <TheKosmonaut> Oops yeah that’s it
L1223[23:36:32] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: well, the XboxOne will play KSP better.
L1224[23:36:58] <Althego> the new version will be a separate game
L1225[23:37:06] <Althego> with save incompatibility
L1226[23:37:08] <Guest89425> Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7
L1227[23:37:10] <Althego> on consoles
L1228[23:37:13] <TheKosmonaut> How old is your son, if you don’t mind me asking? Modding requires a bit of fiddling around online with the PC and if they’re younger then they’ll need parental supervision
L1229[23:37:24] <TheKosmonaut> Althego: yeah. It should come out in January
L1230[23:37:29] <TheKosmonaut> According to TakeTwo

L1234[23:37:40] <Blaank> Oh
L1235[23:37:57] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: and you have a 360 currently?
L1236[23:38:03] <Guest89425> yes
L1237[23:38:21] <Guest89425> but thinking about buy an xbox 0ne s for christmas
L1238[23:38:45] <Guest89425> My son is 15 yrold
L1239[23:38:57] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: if I were you, I would honestly think about getting an Xbox for your son, at the very least, he will have plenty of games to choose from. And Xbox live Gold is fun too.
L1240[23:39:24] <TheKosmonaut> If you’re not averse to shooting games then Xbox has plenty that are very popular with high schoolers now.
L1241[23:40:03] <Guest89425> are you saying our current computer is too slow. He's not a big gamer but he does like this
L1242[23:40:55] <Guest89425> He has a portal game and wants this
L1243[23:40:57] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: your Mac would definitely run KSP
L1244[23:41:18] <TheKosmonaut> well. Lemme look at my old MacBook specs real quick
L1245[23:41:31] <TheKosmonaut> Hmm... yeah your mini would probably run it pretty well

L1247[23:43:20] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: you’re actually within the recommended specs for KSP
L1248[23:44:29] <Guest89425> I just keep going back and forthe with wether to get it xbox or the desk top. I don't know enough about games to decode which he would like better. i don't want to have to rebuy the game if it doesn't have wha the want on the x box one
L1249[23:45:04] <Guest89425> how sure are they that they are going to release it on the xbox
L1250[23:46:36] <Blaank> You can ask which he'd prefer. I know a lot of people like gifts to be surprises. Sometimes it's better to not surprise them but get something they will like.
L1251[23:47:14] <Guest89425> is it better to wait a couple of years to get the xbox version. will there ever be mods on xbox
L1252[23:47:32] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: there likely will not be. But I can’t say with 100% certainty.
L1253[23:47:44] <TheKosmonaut> Anyway, having reviewed the specs, I think the Mac version would be fine
L1254[23:47:54] <TheKosmonaut> It’s definitely easier to play on computer
L1255[23:48:19] <Guest89425> is it less frustrating
L1256[23:48:55] <TheKosmonaut> The Mac version will be updated alongside the PC version. With Xbox you may not always get updates at the same time because there’s a lot more hoops to jump through
L1257[23:49:09] <Althego> if for nothing else, the ker mod is worth of not going with consoles
L1258[23:49:19] <Guest89425> also one last thing is a specific broweser better to play on?
L1259[23:49:32] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: browser?
L1260[23:49:44] <Althego> not a browser game
L1261[23:49:45] <TheKosmonaut> Oh. I would buy KSP from steam if I were you
L1262[23:49:57] <Guest89425> chrome safari
L1263[23:50:17] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: KSP is a stand-alone game and not browser based
L1264[23:50:29] <TheKosmonaut> If you got Portal, you likely have Steam as well.
L1265[23:50:36] <Althego> based on unity engine, that is why it runs on many thigns
L1266[23:50:41] <Guest89425> so it doesn't matter where i uplod the steam
L1267[23:51:05] <Guest89425> portal is on the x box 360
L1268[23:51:07] <TheKosmonaut> So on Steam if you search “Kerbal Space Program” you’ll find it on that.
L1269[23:51:09] <TheKosmonaut> Ohhhh
L1270[23:51:22] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: ok in that case. I will give you some steps to follow
L1271[23:51:36] <TheKosmonaut> If you wanna do this now? Otherwise just copy the steps following
L1272[23:51:57] <Guest89425> I think I can get on steam to get it thanks
L1273[23:52:25] <Guest89425> You have been very helpful
L1274[23:52:40] <Guest89425> is it self expalnitory
L1275[23:52:44] <Guest89425> on steam
L1276[23:52:44] <TheKosmonaut> No problem! KSP is a wonderfully educational game
L1277[23:53:15] <TheKosmonaut> I have spent hours upon hours studying physics and the like relating to spaceflight, but KSP helped it *click* in a way that I could not conceptualize before

L1286[23:54:31] <Gasher[work]> Blaank, same lol
L1287[23:54:34] <TheKosmonaut> taniwha: That giant one?

L1291[23:54:45] <Althego> i always hated the aliens planet drop scene
L1292[23:54:59] <Guest89425> LOL you guys are great!!!
L1293[23:55:02] <Blaank> Even the Expanse got a lot of stuff wrong.
L1294[23:55:16] <TheKosmonaut> Blaank: They got a lot of stuff right too, except for M A G I C engines
L1295[23:55:30] <Blaank> Those are purely a plot device and no other reason they exist.
L1296[23:55:39] <Blaank> It's a means to an end and the end is a good story.
L1297[23:55:43] <TheKosmonaut> Guest89425: Thanks! We hope that you and your son have a great christmas and fun time in KSP
L1298[23:55:58] <TheKosmonaut> Even my 2.5 year old daughter loves KSP... she mostly says "boom"
L1299[23:56:04] <Althego> hehe

L1302[23:58:21] <Blaank> SSTOs are infuriating.
L1303[23:58:55] <TheKosmonaut> So.. that was like the 1 guest account that stayed in channel for more than 30 seconds
L1304[23:59:07] <Althego> hehe
L1305[23:59:24] <TheKosmonaut> I hope you all enjoyed that, he was probably the last one for the rest of 2017-2018
L1306[23:59:26] <Althego> people do become wiser with age :)
L1307[23:59:31] * Blaank cries in kerbal.
L1308[23:59:59] <Blaank> Each orbit around the sun, you've probably made hundreds more mistakes and you learn from them.
